The core philosophy of the bay street boyz centres around the hiding of information, it would seem ... first thing when they took over, they hid the cdnx market by order page, ripped it right off the site within days, or hours maybe .... that was the peak of thorough quality info we'll ever see, the cdnx

They'll continue on this trend, and kill the place, just like sleaze killed the old vse .... who wants to trade in the dark, not me .... that depth by order page was so totally useful in placing stink bids/offers, i would most evenings spend twenty minutes minimum pulling up depth for numerous illiquid plays .... what can i do now, except just make a wild guess at the market and leave in fill or kill gtc orders maybe, but they'll be more conservative, my personal spread between buy/sell will widen considerably, so such liquidity as i've been able to provide will be reduced

Just glancing at one play i follow, it's had one (1) single trade this month of april .... i wasn't on either side of that trade, but i might have stimulated another before month-end

'Manley ... always looks to me like he’s just been shaken awake and accused of something.'

Lol .... that'll stick, you know, every time i see Graham on telly now i imagine him as you proposed, in a pink frock with a bow in his hair ..... both of them would easily make the appearance requirements for joining Monty Python ... still it's been a while since i heard Graham say something with which i do not agree [that was on the stationing of foreign troops on our soil, rather a biggie and memorable] ..... as for Manley he is worm food, he insulted my Queen, end of story

Lenny, come over here - #Subject-37211 ... profound disagreements yet language stays reasonably parliamentary, and nobody gets shot - how canehjun, eh

Interesting these bits on the number 8 and asian luck, etc .... translations and marques on goods - one of the most expensive screwups was an attempt to market the Chevrolet Nova south of the Río Bravo - 'no va' means 'it doesn't go' -g- ..... and in a lot of senses, there are probably more idioms using ir [the infinitive, 'to go'] than any other verb, like 'it leaves me cold', 'it doesn't work', 'it doesn't add up', 'it signifies nothing' ..... you could not if you tried think up a worse brand name, and for that reason the few that were sold are now prized like Edsels here -g-

[edit] - my wife wanted a car called Tiburon, was very firm on buying it until i convinced her it was a PoS and the guy wanted too much anyway ... and she liked it most for the name, so you'll know what a hell my life is when i explain that tiburón means 'shark' -ggg-
